My Sunday brunch experience at The Pompano was exceptional. The food was delicious, with a diverse menu offering something for everyone. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff enhancing our dining experience. The ambiance was inviting, perfect for a leisurely brunch. Overall, I highly recommend The Pompano for a memorable dining experience.

Had not been in many years but glad I went. Food was very tasty. Had the wedge salad and Pasra Pompano. Thought the pasta was a little overpriced but had a great depth in flavor for the sauce. The menu description makes you think you are getting larger pieces of steak/chicken but they were small pieces. Didn’t mind since the sauce was so tasty.Wedge salad had a nice sweet taste due to the balsamic so was not overly dominated by the blue cheese dressing. Service was great and the Thursday night music was a bonus.Only thing I would changes is the lighting is so low in the dining room that I needed my phone light to read the menu.

Everything that was good from the past with a new updated look, well done! Everything was excellent. From the service, quality of food and even down to the perfect cooking of those meals. Shout out to the general manager who was on top of everyting! A new must visit when in the Golden Triangle.

We ate there last night for our anniversary. Heather, our server, recommended the chicken diane. The chicken was tender and juicy. Asparagas was perfect with tasty mashed potatoes. My husband had the surf and turf. Steak was seasoned well with augratin potates and fried tomatoes. He enjoyed all of it. Hats off to Will the chef. Thank you, Heather, for making our evening a lovely one. We will be back with friends to enjoy the delicious food again..Parking: Restaurant is easy access and excellent parking.

Our server was the best I have had in a long time. Food was good but a bit spendy.

We celebrated my husband birthday with family members, and Ms.Heather assisted us with all our needs, our drinks, food orders and help with getting our cake cut with cutting utensils and plates. She was truly a gem, with a great personality. She even captured some good family shots for us. I also would like to give Mr. Willie a shout-out, the fried chicken, mac and cheese and the green beans were awesome, everything was cooked to perfection, southern style.The atmosphere was great for a wonderful dining experience with family.

Great atmosphere! The manager was extremely accommodating, I'll explain that in a second. Bret the bartender was amazing and covered for our waitresses shortcomings very gracefully. Most of the food was spot on and looked beautiful and it all had great flavor.The pompano pasta was really good. My only suggestion is to not serve the meat diced. Mine was diced so finely that I had a hard time actually tasting the prime rib and chicken. The ribeye had great flavor but unfortunately it was cooked medium well even though it was ordered rare to medium rare. The bread pudding was probably one of the best I've ever tasted! But the key lime pie was frozen.The waitress we had does not know how to serve in a fine dining establishment. When I'm paying $300 for a meal I expect a little elevated service. I've literally had better service at Waffle House and Chilis. She would disappear for twenty minutes at a time while we sat there waiting for drinks. However, we were patient and didn't say anything. When this really became a problem was when she served the dinner and walked off for over twenty minutes. Normally in fine dining, the waitress comes back to the table within 3-5 minutes of serving to make sure the table is satisfied with the food quality. Had she done that we would have been able to send the steak back and got one made the way we ordered it. But when it became clear she was off on another adventure, my husband reluctantly ate it as he had just gotten off of a 13 hour shift and was starving (he normally skips lunch so dinner is the only time of day he eats). I had to literally get up after my brother in law sat there not eating his wagyu chicken fried steak after 15 minutes because we had no salt and pepper and he adds that to everything. That's when I found Bret the bartender, he was walking by as I wandered around aimlessly.When she finally showed back up with a huge smile and asking if everything was okay, my husband told her as a matter of fact no it wasn't. His steak was over cooked. And he showed her the middle which didn't have any pink at all. She literally said "well you ate half of it" and kind of chuckled. My husband told her yes, because he was hungry and it was obvious she wasn't coming back for at least another twenty minutes, but had she done her job, it could have been rectified immediately after him taking the first bite or two. He told her that due to her lack of customer service I had to get up and find someone else to bring us Salt and pepper since she served the food and walked off without even asking if we needed condiments. The manager came over and apologized and took the steak off the bill. We thanked him but asked him to put it back on since my husband did eat it. Bret pretty much became our waitress after my husband had to tell our actual waitress that she failed at her job that night miserably. He did great, watching the bar, coming by to check on things several times and he makes the best cherry coke old fashioned I've ever tasted! We ended up leaving Bret a separate cash tip for his excellence and even though the waitress was awful we left a 20% tip anyways because we were positive it was a tip share environment and we didn't feel the rest of the staff should have to pay for her mistakes.All in all it was a great experience but could have been better had the waitress been trained properly. But we will definitely be back and give them another shot since the manager and Bret went over and beyond to compensate for the poor service.

Too dark, and surprisingly loud. It was hard to hear across our large table. The serving portions are very large. The staff is friendly; they were busy the night we visited.Parking: Sufficient parking. Easy in and out

The atmosphere was really nice. The only problem was it was to dark to read the menu. If it wasn't for that I would've said 5star all the way. I will definitely say this I have eaten all over the US and this restaurant was top of the list...

As an ardent steak enthusiast, I've often found steakhouses in South East Texas falling short, leading me to travel to Lake Charles or Houston for a worthy steak meal. I'd even joke with my wife about the rubbery texture of local steaks. However, a friend's recommendation led us to try this restaurant, and I must admit, I was thoroughly impressed. The steak's excellence lies in its quality and cooking technique, and this place nailed both. Paired with mouthwatering Au gratin potatoes and delectable bread rolls served with honey butter, our dining experience was elevated to another level. I'm eagerly looking forward to our next visit. Kudos to the team for such impeccable service!
